STRENGTHS: Good height and length for the position, matching up well physically with WRs&#8230;aggressive run defender, filling lanes hard and throwing his body around on tackle attempts&#8230;foot quickness to mirror the actions of the WR and play tight coverage&#8230;nice job reading the eyes of the QB and not afraid to come off his man to make a play, driving fast and furiously&#8230;good ballskills and confidence, working hard to get his hands on the ball with 8 INTs and 20 passes defended over his career.
WEAKNESSES: Lacks a natural feel deep and needs to do a better job locating, gaining position and playing the ball&#8230;room to improve his timing and cover technique, playing too undisciplined and hands-on&#8230;needs to understand situations better, often giving up too much cushion, lacking necessary make-up speed to recover&#8230;too much of a hitter and doesn’t always wrap up&#8230;bites too easily on fakes and plays wild, allowing big plays&#8230;lean frame and battled several shoulder stingers in 2012.
SUMMARY: Looks the part with good height and length, but lacks great muscle definition and is too much of an ankle biter, struggling to always wrap up&#8230;attracted too many penalties in college, everything from pass interference to facemasks to roughing calls&#8230;aggressive with good-enough speed, but not overly fluid in man coverage&#8230;too undisciplined at this point in his career to be dependable against NFL competition, but worth late round consideration to groom as a reserve DB.
